While reading stuff about Bitcoin, I learned that Bitcoin is not the only virtual currency out there. There are many more virtual currencies available, and one of them seems to be Litecoin. At the time of writing 1 Litecoin (LTC) is worth about $2,14 USD according to CryptoCoinCharts.

If I am informed correctly, mining of Litecoins on your consumer-PC should be easier than Bitcoins these days.

Quote from Litecoin.org:

One of the aims of Litecoin was to provide a mining algorithm that could run at the same time, on the same hardware used to mine bitcoins. With the rise of specialized ASICs for Bitcoin, Litecoin continues to satisify these goals. It is unlikely for FPGA or ASIC mining to take over Litecoin until the currency is widely used.

I was looking for a Litecoin donate button, but couldn’t find one that fast. So I started Photoshopping, and made one myself based on the Bitcoin donate button.

Update: To create a working button from this image, add the following piece of javascript to your blog/website. You only have to modify the fields <put your Litecoin address here> by replacing it with your own Litecoin address, and the URL to the button image src=”./litecoindonate.png” with the path to the button image on your server.

Hello there, lately I started to dig myself into the world of Bitcoin. I started reading articles/tutorials about this digital currency to find out what’s it all about.

Because I am interested in new technologies and applaud innovations, I am excited to see where this all ends.

As of today, I have added a Bitcoin Donate button on my blog. If you are enjoying the software tools I have made and published, feel free to send a (small) Bitcoin donation. By clicking the Bitcoin donate button in the sidebar, you’ll see a pop-up window containing the Bitcoin address, ready for you to copy/paste in your Bitcoin Wallet software.

If you also like the idea of Bitcoin and it’s possibilities and want to “buy me a beer”, go ahead! :-)

Two new languages have been added to this release, German and French.
Below is a screenshot of the German version, running in Linux Mint 14 (nadia).

Also the mechanism to load the translations is now much more dynamic than it was before.
This is a little bit techy stuff, but Spotweb Filter Creator doesn’t need a recompile anymore when just adding new languages.

The available languages are now defined in the spotwebfc.lng file instead of hardcoded into the source code.

For those that are interested, I’ve uploaded the translations to Transifex: Click here.

The translation project is “Free For All”, so feel free to contribute if you want Spotweb Filter Creator translated in your own native language :-)
